One of the most pernicious and long-running consumer frauds in recent history has been the NESARA scam, evidently an outgrowth of the Omega fraud, which promised exorbitant returns while defrauding thousands of unsuspecting US citizens.

Shaini Goodwin, who uses "Dove of Oneness" as a pen name, has claimed that a “secret” law called NESARA (National Economic Security and Reformation Act) will supposedly bring about changes in the US financial system including the forgiving of mortgages, credit card debts, as well as abolishing the IRS.

Goodwin’s mythology describes Illuminati factional fighting in which allegedly one group called the "White Knights" is fighting against the dominant group. This is also reminiscent of another mythology promoted by Rumor Mill News, in which Faction 1 of the Illuminati is supposedly engaged in a global power death struggle with Faction 2.

Goodwin’s NESARA scam is based on the gullibility and naivete of US citizens who had been suckered into previous cons like the investment scam called Omega, operated by Clyde Hood of Mattoon, Illinois in the mid 1990s which yielded more than $20 million from thousands of people

Combining conspiracy fact, conspiracy theory and New Age lingo, Hood’s fraud originated in 1994 and then swept around the world with the fury of an internet wildfire.

The NESARA angle was then exploited by “Dove of Oneness” into a scam that by Hollywood standards has legs -- and then some.

As Andreas Schroeder of the University of British Columbia says, “The best con artists turn passive victims into active supporters.”

"You're told to spend a tremendous amount of effort to get in on the fight and defend yourself," says Schroeder. "Join up with a bunch of other like-minded people to defend the enterprise. It keeps you busy, it keeps you involved, and because you're chorusing, the din you create overwhelms anything that might be coming in through the other ear."

In other words, just ignore the evidence. You haven’t been conned. The gravy train is just around the corner.

This denial of reality and optimism against all other evidence is the foundation for scams which are as American as mom and apple pie.

What can you expect? In an age when the Bush Cabal rules the country, the USA really is "One Nation Under Fraud."
